Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Herb-Grilled Chicken with Quinoa, Roasted Veggies, and Lemon Dressing
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water or chicken broth
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cucumber, diced
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste (for dressing)
Directions:
Rinse quinoa thoroughly. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water (or broth), bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Rub chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill for 5–6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and parsley. Add grilled chicken on top.
Drizzle with lemon dressing and gently toss before serving.
